There’s a beautiful thing in the coaching community, where we all strive to share resources. But this inherently creates a problem. What works in one context, doesn’t always work in another. Sam and I are both content creators who always get asked to come up with solutions to various coaching problems and share our thoughts on how coaches can accelerate their teams to new levels. While we love creating content and educating coaches, it must be said that everything we put out always needs to be adapted to the context of the individual coach, team, players and environment. The same could be said for taking things from the professional game, where very few lessons can actually be applied at the youth level. Sam and Rhys dive right into this topic and discuss why everything – from game models, to professional environments, to coaching practices, to language, should always be adapted to fit the players and the context.

Xabi Alonso – Chelsea – Tactical Analysis
It’s been four Premier League matches for Xabi Alonso at Chelsea, and already, the Blues are so much more fun. They’re scoring goals left, right, and centre, have the most harmonious and eye-pleasing front three in the league, and a tactically complex shape full of new faces and utter disorganization in defense. Chelsea fans might…
Matthias Jaissle – Newcastle United – Tactical Analysis
Matthias Jaissle has only been in charge for a month now, and Newcastle are still a work in progress. They’ve lost some of their most influential figureheads, and are rapidly changing their approach and identity.

Tactical talking points from Matchday 1

Lewis-Skelly and Tzolis star in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Coventry
Earlier this week in my Arsenal preview, I declared the Gunners as favourites for the Premier League title again in 2026-27. They’re just so complete. So well drilled. So organized. No missing components to the puzzle. It’s a really efficient side that Mikel Arteta has built, and one that can hurt opposing teams from such…
How Stephen Eustáquio controlled Canada’s 1-0 win over South Africa
After scoring the historic goal that secured Canada’s place in the Round of 16, Stephen Eustáquio will receive all of the praise and plaudits. But Eustáquio wasn’t just the game winner. The 29-year-old was the best player on the pitch even without his goal, shepherding Canada to victory through his organization and leadership in midfield.…
